SAVE THE DATE: CENTURIONS HOMECOMING (ALL ACTIVES AND ALUMNI)

We’ve loved our annual Legacy Golf Tournament, but it’s time to do something where all of us (Spring start or Fall start; Class of 2018 or 1978) can come together as one big Centurions family. Centurions Homecoming is your chance to celebrate the impact your class makes on Kansas City and to tap into this big, beautiful network of resources (read: incredible humans) we’ve got at our fingertips. Don’t miss out on attending this inaugural event, which will take place on the evening of Thursday, September 5 at the Mulberry Room in the West Bottoms. This event is hosted by the Centurions Alumni Board. Plus ones are welcome, so get those babysitters lined up now! Register here>>
